I'm a TR3 guy, who found this place a couple of years ago -- whilst in the midst of a serious tear-down & rebuild. The technical info and camaraderie, hereabouts, can't be beat! Welcome, and good luck with your project!

Buffalo you say?
Home of those SABRES!!!!
I'm about 1 1/2 hours west of you on the south coast of Canada.
Enjoy the stay. This place ROCKS.

Hi Dan.
Whatcha done with the car so far?
Any pics?

 

[Dan76spit]

thanks for all the great comments! So far ive done new exhauset, weber dgv, mallory dual point dis, clutch master and slave cylinder, gearbox and motor mounts, brake master cylinder, carpet set, new carpet a custom panels in trunk and a bunch of tinkering with things of course. The weber and mallory were put on by the Po just before i bought it. Right now the next thing ive got to figure out is the diff is leaking from one of the seals and i think its from the front where the drive shaft goes in but im not sure. Also right now its in need of paint as its half topaz and half grey primer. im not sure how to post pics, how do i do that. thanks!
